Re your lesbian gardener, is there some way you can communicate to her the threats, under a Trump administration and Project 2025, that will remove all of the rights and protections that the Biden administration and pre-Trump administrations will remove from her and all other non-binary Americans?

Many have already been removed in a few states, and it's likely that the current majority of the Supreme Court will act to reverse those protections and rights if Trump is reelected.

She finally happened upon Project 25. I don't know where she gets her news, but I am sure it's not main stream media. She does have access to my Facebook feed where I post Heather's letter everyday. Sometimes being an outlier all of one's life makes one cynical and I think that's part of it. We have a group here in the Salem area, that if you belong to a certain group, people should support you for some office even if you are not electable. I cite Jamie McCloud Skinner who cannot win here in Marion County, so we have a R in the Congressional 5th district. Fortunately, Jamie lost in the primary this time. We do have a married lesbian governor. These people want some kind of purist, that talks their ideals, even if in reality they cannot be achieved or only achieved in increments. I bet Bernie would have lots of compromising to do if he had been elected president. I told her that I am pragmatic when it comes to politics and yes, held my nose and voted for that dip Kurt Schrader. At this point, I would vote for a dead body if it had a D next to it.
